Hi There
After going through your query I understand your concern.
I would like to tell you that your baby might have glucose-glactose intolerance that is why she has abdominal pain and you were advised to switch pre nan from aptamil. And yes, iron supplements do cause dark green or black color stool that need not to worry about.
Hope to have been Helpful.
Kind Regards
